Review # 1 was written on 2015-04-18 00:00:00 Hans Halko Ship. I see the prow only, and half a white sail. A place between day and night, the sea. A place without motion. When the eastern sky takes fire, it whiteness blinds. It becomes invisible. It sails the other side of the sea. Years go by. One night I untie the boat moored among the boulders of the bay. I put to sea. The silence is unbroken even by the crystal of the oars in the water. I'm close. She appears on the bridge haloed with her own darkness and her mane of hair. She looks at me. The ship's figurehead breaks loose, skimming across the air. It shatters on my breast. [...] Moonlight on the water showed it vivid against the sky. Further back, she was watching me. She began to sing a song. Worn out by love, by terror, I knew her voice was creating the secret half of the world. We were sailing through a sea of sand. Ghostly red sunlight stained the nimbus of dust that followed the ship. A sky of gold without a cloud, without a bird to give life. She stands erect on the bridge, her will alone drives us across the desert. She makes a bare tree grow green for me. I know it is a gift, a clear shade that reminds me of half my origin. Then we cross the threshold. The sign of her silence became silence; softly the shining of the darkness devoured me. Memory: vast holdings, my inheritance a crumb? -I've lost the memory. The Northen Lights unfold across dark silk.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-06-14 00:00:00 Keith Knowles Este libro lo compré cuando apenas conocía a UKLG, vi el libro en una pila de saldos y como conocía la autora (y salía 2 pesos) lo compré porque no sabía (en ese entonces) que escribía poesía. Lo que recuerdo (lo leí hace 15 años) era que me gustó a pesar que casi nunca leía poesía (y no sé si es el primer libro de poesía que leí) Tengo que releerlo, es corto.
